Build Diary- Series 6, June 2002
Series 6 didn't see the modifications that I wanted being
carried out because.......
OK, I was too busy doing other things, finding a new job, fixing motorbikes
etc. We did however sort out the removable link and the receiver switch
position. The link got pulled out in Series 5 during our fight with Gemini
so it had to be improved.
 |
The Link got moved from it's nice position at the front to a safer position at the back. It did mean that the cabling was much longer though. |
 |
From an access point of view it would be much better to have the receiver switch at the back as well but I didn't want to risk interference. In the end we used a pull switch from a wall light and a long piece of string. This did cause two problems however. Firstly we couldn't hear the switch click in the pits (we could at home) and secondly the string got melted in the fire preventing us switching the receiver off. |
 |
We had to give Ruf Ruf Dougal a new tongue! The fur got painted pink because he looked a bit grey and boring on TV for Series 5. |
 |
The spike got painted red for a more aggressive look and flattened for increased piercing pressure. |
